i feel like that would be incredibly awkward.

I don't know how much he does it any more, but for a while he was djing quite a bit here in the city. If you're only familiar with his stage persona, it's definitely a strange thing to try and imagine. Paul is a chill guy; if he comes around your way, you should definitely go. ...and buy him a drink!

Thats Life - 7-13-2005 at 08:52 AM

I'd be so stoked to buy paul a drink and sit and shoot the shit.

BDx13 - 7-13-2005 at 09:02 AM

i was pretty stoked when he bought me one!

Ungodly - 7-13-2005 at 09:03 AM

I'm just hoping for between-song banter, and plenty of it.

I think he rules but I'm not one to fawn over celebrites- it will, however, be fun to watch my friends be in awe and schmooze and drink or attempt to drink with him.

The whole hardcore stars DJ'ing think always rubs me the wrong way, not because they are DJ'ng but because it makes them seem like celeberties.

I listened to ST yesterday... goddamn that band was great.

Jarrod will be all over that. I'd go but i doubt anyone would even consider driving.

Well, this is a tiny, dingy hole of a club, with one small room and a table set up only when there is a dj. It's also so random b/c it's a regular ska, reggaen and soul night which is very low-key, so I suspect he's just here visiting friends or something. The only way I saw it announced was that this dude I know who runs Spitshine sent me a myspace invite.

So it won't be too much of a celebrity atmosphere, I don't think, but that won't stop some of my buds from schmoozing it up.

It rules- it's not always well attended, but wicked chill. They have a patio and free (ghetto and meaty, but free) BBQ.

in my limited experience, paul has never come across a celebrity off stage. he's just a guy; a working class slob... who happens to have made some great music. introduce yourself, tell him you appreciate what's he's done and buy him a drink. done deal. no shmoozing required.

gavin - 7-13-2005 at 10:24 AM

me and paul talked about wrestling once

Oh yeah, I don't think anyone was saying he would act like a bigshot. If I meet him anyway, cool, but I'm not much of the self-introducing type, and I don't drink so I don't buy drinks.

There are those who schmooze on people for far lesser reasons than being PB, so I'm afraid that will go on no matter what.

An older friend just wrote me and said he used to hang out at her house and never talked, except for an occaisional grumble, ha ha.

i know EXACTLY what you mean.

rubeboy - 7-13-2005 at 04:11 PM

Despite seeming like an unapproachable person, Paul is actually a really cool guy to talk to.

JawnDiablo - 7-13-2005 at 05:58 PM

i said hi to him and shook hands a couple of times. he seems kinda quiet when it comes to total strangers. plus i got the idea he was none to happy here in phila..them guys he is in joe coffee are some real nice dudes however. i always make it a point to say hi to ray.....as for the dj thing, he did it upstairs last time i saw JC play and he wasn't sayin too much between songs....

tireironsaint - 7-13-2005 at 07:23 PM

I know Paul was doing a lot of DJing when he was living in KC, but I think that was mostly old school country, rockabilly and the like. I also met him and talked for a bit when Sheer Terror played Austin with Napalm Death and he was a great guy, very cool to talk to about anything and he actually verbally defended me to some guys he knew who had just moved to town. They said some bullshit about my friend and I being SxE when the subject of drinks came up and Paul said we obviously weren't THAT kind of Edge since I was up there singin' along to every fuckin' song they played. He sat and talked about whatever through the whole Napalm Death set and it was more like talkin' to an old friend than any kinda celebrity.

Ungodly - 7-14-2005 at 08:36 AM

Yup, he didn't talk, just spun really good old rock n roll, most of which I have never heard before, and it was just like a regular night there except with way more people. My friends were in reverential awe and Paul was very cool about it. My friend Jarrod was abosultely giddy, it was so cute.
